A corporate resolution is a formal document that records a specific action approved by the board or members. It outlines who is authorized to act and under what conditions.
Typically, officers or directors who have authority to bind the company sign the resolution. Banks and counterparties often request a signed copy to confirm the authority.
Minutes capture what happened in a meeting; resolutions document the decisions and authorities granted. Both are useful, but a resolution stands as a standalone instruction.
Yes, resolutions can be amended or repealed by a subsequent resolution. Ensure the amendment follows the same formalities as the original.
Processing time varies by complexity, but many resolutions can be drafted and signed within a few days. Delays usually involve awaiting approvals or notarization.
Not all resolutions require notarization; check with the relevant authority. Notarization may be requested for certain agreements or filings.
Yes, lenders often require a certified or original copy of the resolution. We can prepare copies and ensure documents meet lender requirements.
If you have multiple entities, you may need separate resolutions for each entity. We coordinate the documents to reflect each entity’s authority and scope.
Templates can be a starting point, but tailored language is best for your specific governance. Always customize and review before execution.
Store resolutions in a secure, organized location accessible to authorized personnel. Maintain copies for banks, auditors, and internal records.
